Is that the time? Many thanks to everyone who submitted questions for the Club to answer at the Forum this evening. CQN submitted six pages of questions along with many other groups, from which an agenda has been prepared (below):
Stadium Atmosphere and Matchday Policy:
What is the current position in respect of the Green Brigade?
Do the Club believe their response to Motherwell was justified and proportionate?
Stewarding at home matches is heavy handed in certain sections of the Stadium e.g. Block 122 and Blocks 110, 111 & 112, is there a reason for this?
The presence of FoCUS at home matches is intimidating and antagonises supporters, is it necessary to have them and if so can they be located in an area which is less intrusive?
Can the Club introduce a code of conduct which all Stewards need to sign up to?
Attending matches is expensive, what are the Club’s plans on ticket pricing?
Safe Standing has been regularly discussed, what is the current position?
The Coach Park has been relocated to an area which is unsuitable for the majority of fans who use it, what is the longer term plan?
The Kerrydale Bar has been a welcome addition to matchday are there plans for another?
What are the Club’s thoughts on the current location of the Family Section?
Stadium Catering has long since been considered over-priced and sub-standard, what is the current position in terms of offering an improved service?
Many fans feel their support is taken for granted, would the Club consider adding value by recognising long-term support for 5, 10, 15 years’ Season Ticket purchase by offering upgrades to Premium or Corporate for a day?
With so many empty seats on match day at present can the Club not allocate these to good causes, school and youth groups and community projects?
PR & Communication:
There is a perception that the Club are quick to criticise our fans but slow to praise them, what’s the Club’s view?
Why is the Club not more vocal when our Manager, Players and Fans are attacked in the media?
The Club is seen to be slow to react to key issues through the media, why is this?
The Club has stated its opposition to the OBTC Act but there is a sense that it has to do more in support of the fans who are affected by this, will the Club take a more vocal position?
Is this meeting a recognition from the Club that a gap exists between the Club and the fans?
The Club are often considered to be on the back foot in terms of PR, is there recognition of this from within and is there a plan to drive the PR strategy by producing more positive stories?
Would the Club consider the introduction of a weekly phone-in show to combat existing shows which often provide misinformation or unrealistic comparisons from unqualified sources?
Supporter Specific Issues:
Given the level of demand which exists, would the Club consider adding to to the excellent new disabled supporters’ facility or creating something similar in another part of the stadium?
Fixture re-scheduling at short notice is costing supporters money and ultimately driving fans away, can the Club seek an agreement with all other Clubs that a minimum notice period is put in place?
Would the Club consider a floating credits scheme for fans outside Scotland to mitigate losses when matches are rescheduled?
Murrayfield – what is the plan relative to transportation and kick-off times, also Edinburgh cannot be accessed in a 24-hr trip by Irish supporters, can this be reflected in their Season Ticket offering?
At present away, neutral and European match ticket allocations are based on attendance of matches at each of the defined categories. Would the Club consider a scheme where all matches are taken into account including attendance at home matches as this would encourage more fans to attend home games?
For European match ticket allocation there is no stated policy at present, this leads to confusion as fans don’t always know when they will receive an offer or if it’s first come first served, this needs to be made clear by way of a stated policy which allows for clarity and gives supporters a defined process.

Today’s news reminds me of what One guy (surely a timposter) posted on one of them hun sites.
“I’m starting to think ally hasn’t really got a £10m warchest”
Always makes me laugh.

Hope you’re feeling better after getting all that off your chest. If you read all of my posts last night you will have seen that I had a lot of sympathy for your views given the times that you went to school. I witnessed the attitude of some teachers towards certain kids in my class and agree it was awful. Tomes have changed in schools. Nowadays teachers are different.
You get a hard time on here – like Kev Jungle and Sydney Tim – because of your entrenched views. It’s nothing to do with HT and I being teachers, Tony it’s just that we feel you’re a bit of a trumpet. That’s all.

You seem to be having a bad day. My remark wasn’t intended to be smart arsed. You’ve every right to be proud of your daughter and her achievement. I think though you would have to agree that she maybe undermines your sweeping condemnation of an entire profession.

When the enter the SPFL they will probably have greater domestic income than Celtic as it is likely they will have bigger gates.
The only income that will separate us is CL income.
Then we are into the lottery of who gains access to the EPL.

Not only does HT get to teach our children but he does it in a Blofeld special kinna way.
I exSPECTRE better than that from our teachers!

While no inference was intended,there are a particular couple of maggots who fleetingly crossed my mind…
Personally,I wonder where they get all this money from,bearing in mind their company only makes a profit of £400k pa. And that following previous losses.
Again,no inference intended…
Sorry ,that should have been CL not EPL.

Not wanting to interrupt or anything but how do teachers find the time to post on football blogs all day long? I understood they were all badly overworked these days.

Sevco CEO has officially stated that there is absolutely no danger of liquidation.
Oh and by the way, could you spare some change for a coffee?

I mean, everyone knows that it’s only folk with loads of money that borrow money…

This is true one must speculate to accumulate and since they have not explained (yet) what they need £1.5 mil for we could speculate it is for an unannounced investment……
£1.5 does not get you much on the playing field it will however buy you a hell of a lot of groceries
Lol, aye right another teacher, good response, oh and you can stick your sympathy up yer Jack , your 50 years to late, as some one said earlier, your like cops, liars an b******s.

Goalkeeper’s no.1 place is at risk!!
Manuel Neuer is in danger of losing out on a place in the German national team at this year’s World Cup in Brazil. That is the frank assessment of goalkeeping legend Sepp Maier who explains that Neuer’s lack of action while tending goal for Bayern Munich must put his place at risk. “Manny is not being tested. You could see that against Arsenal lastnight. Apart from a softly struck penalty, Manny had little to do in the game. With English teams in Europe there is always that risk that Bayern would be drawn against them and consequently have little pressure or competition. That’s bad for Manny and its bad for Germany. Personally, I think Manny should move to the Volkswagen Conference League where, if he played for Lippstadt (current goal difference -78), his credentials would be under much closer examination.”
In other news, Lippstadt’s relegation rivals Herten (goal diff -63) in talks with Fraser Forster.

I don’t see that they will have bigger gates. Celtic’s crowds will increase.

Tony, you are a passionate Celtic man and you think for yourself. That will do for me.
Personally I am delighted that Sevco have been given a ‘windfall’ to enable them to continue for a while longer. I don’t want them going into administration any time soon. Why?
Because any points deduction this season will have no effect on their league position, they are still going to be promoted. However next season will be different.
A 15 point deduction with Hearts in the championship and other teams that will be no walkover could see them easily be second or ideally below even that position.
Also going to administration next season with the resulting re negotiation of contracts ,shedding your ‘best’ players will make life very difficult.
So good luck Sevco in surviving this season and may you rot in hell next season.

I love the story, too, about the 1980 ‘Mariel boatlift’ during which Castro and Co, (due to a particularly harsh period for the Cuban economy) agreed to – and indeed facilitated – the exodus of tens of thousands of Cubans to the US.
The best bit was that the Cubans used the opportunity to empty their jails and mental hospitals … causing a slight difficulty for the US.

The resultant humiliation of U.S. and the very decent Jimmy Carter prefaced and probably in part caused Carter`s summary departure from the White House and the arrival of Ronald Reagan.
Nice one,Fidel.

Let’s agree that the gate income will be equal.
Excluding CL income.
We will have similar incomes.
Who gets into the CL
Is the vital factor.
It will be a lottery not ,a one horse race.

50 years ago I was only 12. Really I wasn’t to blame for what happened to you. I’m finding it difficult to walk just now with a large wedge of sympathy stuck up my arse. I still think you’re a trumpet though.

I’ll be astounded if we have equal incomes in their inaugural prem season.

We have favourable credit facilities should we need them. They don’t.
We have sponsorship and advertising deals in place. They don’t.
Our stadium is in a good state of repair. Theirs isn’t.
We have an assembled squad. They don’t.
And they’ve got Sally.
i’d love to be a fly on the wall in here…

Well here’s a we help for you, cause this is the kinda guy i am, if you push Hamilton Tim up a wee bit further, you should be able to get that wedge in with no problem, I wouldn’t want you walking about the class like max wall, your prob. Look stupid enough as it is, no need to thank me, it’s a pleasure.
Congratulations to the GB ladies Curling team.
Great entertainment and a lesson on pressure to all sportsmen / women.
Average age of 23. If your good enough your old enough.
Looking forward to Murdoch and co tomorrow, although not as pleasing on the eye.
